It refers to the applications or tools which enable easy communication between the teacher and the students beyond the physical barri...

  Situating tools are systems that situated the user in an environment where they may experience the context and happening. Situated tools are virtual realities, 3D computer simulated images experiential learning environments, and simulation instructional games. It provides students to conceptualize the ideas of the real world by integrating the computers. for example graphical and GeoGebra. Why do we need integrated situating tools in the classroom? Situated user in the environment comprehend and manipulate variables communicate with other user's login (an online games using social media-Facebook) foster creativity and visualization skills How do we integrate Situating tools in the classroom? Experience of Virtual Reality Environment using google earth of the visiting place and knowing about the world calculate the distance of the place using Google Earth using educational software such GraphCalc for predicting and observing the variables for generating line graphs using simulatio...

  Session 4 (18/3/2022) In session 4, we discussed the integration of ICT in teaching and learning. ICT integration is understood as the usage of technology seamlessly for educational processes like transacting curricular content and students working on technology to do authentic tasks. Nowadays ICT facilitates not only the delivery of the lessons but also reinforces, supplements, and extends the skills. There is three level of integration of technologies in the classroom; basic level, middle level, and high level of technology integration. In the basic level of technology integration, they use the technology for simple tasks like showing images, videos, and animation using PowerPoint presentations, uploading reading materials on the online platforms, and using a spreadsheet for automation calculation and keeping the record of the student's performances. In the middle level, technology is used mainly to create the instructional simulation lessons, design the learning activities, an...

   2 nd  Session Reflection (8/03/2022) As time passes, there is a certain change in the learning style of the individual learners. In the past learners acquire most of their knowledge from the community with the means of using newspapers, textbooks, and the people around them. With the change in time, students had become independent learners and as they are being considered the digital native they gather information using the technologies and other modes of communication channels such as social media. Moreover, the role of a teacher is just to act as a facilitator whereby integrating with ICT tools such as video tutorials, web links, and interactive learning activities and then learners take the ownership of the learning by themselves. With learners becoming independent learners as a teacher we must keep in mind to inculcate the 21st-century skills in the students.  The term 21st-century skills are generally used to refer to certain core competencies such ...

This session was pivotal as it gave me the blueprint of what will happen during this semester, particularly in the EDN419 module. We had discussed how best we could sail and respond to the pandemic, online teaching, and more importantly module engagements and their assessments.  ICT (Information and communication technology) to me is the part of the everyday language used in the 21st century which has already been diverse types of innovations taking place in the world and stresses the role of unified communications, moreover, the integration of telecommunications and the computers. Stating these facts with this module, I look forward to learning instructional modes associated with computer-based instructions, using the web as a teaching tool in the classrooms, designing learning...
